    Hi from a new member

    Hi, just joined the forum, my interests primarily lie with vintage Rado watches but I also have some Nivada and Technos hard case models. Any other vintage Rado fans here? Truly impressed with the quality and variety of the posts on the forum, look forward to contributing.

    Hi and welcome :-)

    Im not familiar with vintage Rado so what is with the little anchor on the red circle on most of them ... it doesnt seem to line up vertically so suggests it rotates to signify something?

    Yes, the rotating anchor is simply decorative though on the Valjoux 7750 chronograph they used the anchor design for the second counter, pretty neat. I will post some better pics of rarer pieces soon.

    Ha - ignore me, I am an idiot! I have the same NSA bracelet in the spares box - how it transmogrified into a Champion in my head is beyond all explanation...!

    So there are two ways for a newbie with a very specific collection to introduce themselves...?

    This is the better way.

    Welcome, have fun.
